Chapter 624 - 340: The Strange Happiness Peninsula and the Stolen Great Immortal Technique
The autumn sky in West State is a striking blue, even in the early morning, without a trace of cloud.
Bright morning light streams into the window and into the meeting room.
Chen Shu is holding a meeting for the Sequence Seven immortal technique experts and academic experts.
"...As for the deployments related to West State, that’s about all. Ahem."
He takes a sip of strong tea and coughs a couple of times.
Looking up at the experts present, he can’t help but grin and laugh out loud.
People like Mo Lanyou, Professor Zhang from Sequence Seven, look okay.
But Professor Qin, Professor Gan, and others are all sporting panda eyes, with sallow faces, looking extremely weak.
"Hey, actually, there’s no need for everyone to work so tirelessly.
"When it’s time to rest, take a rest.
"After all, our work is long-term, and we’ll need everyone to handle it in the future.
"Before achieving success, you can’t wear out your health first.
"Old Qin, Old Gan, you two look just like pandas right now, hahaha."
The people in the meeting room all laugh.
The president speaks the truth, there’s no flaw in that.
But the work is just that much, just that urgent, just that rushed, so what can be done?
Besides, President, as a Sequence Eight Talisman Master himself, has the darkest, most severe dark circles under his eyes.
Everyone drinks some water and chats.
Mo Lanyou suddenly remarks.
"Without Expert Bai Mo here, I feel quite uneasy."
Professor Zhang grins widely.
"Wherever Expert Bai Mo is, he can always shine.
"And when he makes a move, it’s always impressive, always surprising everyone!
"His program has significantly reduced the difficulty of deploying the City Defense Array!
"Now the Array Center is already preparing to expand the range of this City Defense Array deployment.
"Speaking of which, recently the Array Center has called me several times, wanting to borrow Expert Bai Mo for a period of time."
The people in the meeting room exchange glances.
"Who from the Array Center? Old Sui?"
"What is he thinking?"
"How could they borrow him?"
"Expert Bai Mo has feelings for West State; he wouldn’t agree himself!"
Professor Zhang grins widely.
"Such matters, of course, depend on Expert Bai Mo’s own wishes.
"However... our Immortal Committee here hasn’t agreed with Old Sui, nor have we outright rejected him, just keeping him hanging for now.
"The key is to see how the situation in West State develops.
"If the situation improves, let Old Sui keep waiting.
"If the situation worsens... then we’ll have to see."
Everyone paused for a moment, their brows furrowed, and nodded one by one.
...
"Is this thing called Imperial Castle tasty?"
In the carriage, the fox disciple Black Sugar Bun looks blissful, munching on a burger.
Next to them, some are sipping soy milk, others eating burgers, chatting and laughing.
"We eat in the carriage every day; won’t the carriage end up smelling?"
Driver Old Zhang pats his chest.
"Hey, don’t worry, I wash the car every day, you can rest assured!"
Bai Mo eats a fried chicken piece, rests his head against the car window, and sees that today’s place for burying an array stake is surprisingly a new residential area!
The buildings are all completed, but hardly anyone has moved in yet.
The flowerbeds and green belts are bare, not yet planted.
Cai Xiaozhen and his assistants are in a corner of the residential area, digging pits to bury the array stakes.
Fang Xiaoyu knows all about the real estate in West State.
"This residential area, called Happiness Peninsula, consists of small high-rise units, two elevators for four households, with a plot ratio of 4.8.
"The price... uh... it’s not cheap.
"It’s nearly forty thousand per square meter."
Bai Mo and Wu Qingyun have no concept of this stuff.
Driver Old Zhang widens his eyes.
"What? Why are they selling it for forty thousand? Why this price for small high-rises in the North Suburbs? Can they be sold at that price?"
Fang Xiaoyu smacks his lips.
"It’s sold out instantly on opening!
"Mainly because this place is very close to the North Suburb Base, it’s an Immortal District property!
"And this residential area is somewhat different from ordinary Immortal District properties.
"This residential area... it has a supporting air raid shelter!"
What?
What’s all this about?
Fang Xiaoyu says.
"Don’t doubt it, these days, neighborhood property with an air raid shelter can cost significantly more!
"Although I heard that the air raid shelter at Happiness Peninsula wasn’t made by the developer.
"They say it was there before and was taken over by the developer..."
After chatting for a while, Bai Mo leans back in his seat, closes his eyes, and prepares to contemplate how to use Ghost Eye to drive the Qinghua Rain... Since he can’t get the plans once used by Fallen Immortals, he can only try to create one on his own.
It may not succeed... After all, the immortal techniques of the Fallen Immortals took generations and countless centuries to finally develop... but it’s worth a try, after all, trying doesn’t cost anything.
...
Not far away, next to the dirt pit, Cai Xiaozhen’s group of fellows are sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding laptops, listening to Cai Xiaozhen in the pit report data.
"A, three-four-six-point-six-eight.
"B, four-six-six-six-five-three-two."
...
The fellows no longer use folding stools; carrying them around is a hassle, so they simply sit on the ground with their computers, as it takes at most ten minutes to complete one array stake.
"C, four-four-six-six-five-four-three-point-one.
"Do it again!
"A, four-four-six-six-eight-five-four.
"B, four-six-six-six-five-three-two.
"Do it again!"
...
The fellows outside the pit all sense something unusual.
How come there are so many repetitions today?
Is... Is the feng shui data changing too fast?
The twenty-four data items can’t even be tested once, can’t be fully entered, and the feng shui data has already changed!
What’s going on?
Cai Xiaozhen in the pit is sweating from his forehead. He wipes his head with his sleeve and signals for the others to pause for now.
